Chapter 2 contains a list of all network adapters that are supported by this program. Chapter 3 describes the command line options that can be used when starting the Diagnostic program. Chapter 4 explains how to use the Diagnostic program to test your network adapter. Chapter 5 explains how to use the repeater mode. *** 2 Supported Adapters ===================== The program YUKONDG.EXE supports the Marvell Yukon Ethernet Adapter Family. *** 3 Command Line Options ======================= The following lists shows the optional parameters supported by YUKONDG.EXE. You can obtain a list of all available command line options by typing the following: YUKONDG -? Parameters specifying the network adapter to be tested ------------------------------------------------------ -b <bus> PCI Bus number -d <dev> PCI Device number of the network adapter -y <ven> Additional PCI Vendor Id to search for -z <dev> Additional PCI Device Id to search for Parameters influencing the tests to be made ------------------------------------------- -l List all supported adapters installed -t <seconds> Set Time Limit (in seconds) -a Advanced mode of operation. This option should only be used if instructed by technical staff! -o <file> Output file. This option generates an output file. -x Create/append an output file. The file name is generated by taking some bytes of the MAC address. -c <file> Script file. This option should only be used if instructed by technical staff! -p <file> Parameter file. This option should only be used if instructed by technical staff! -r Do tests for all found adapters. This option is valid only along with options -c and -o. NOTE: The length of the file name <file> is limited to 13 characters. *** 4 How to use the Diagnostics Program ===================================== In order to test your adapter, proceed as follows: 1. Start the DOS-based utility program YUKONDG.EXE using any of the available options to correctly specify the network adapter if required. NOTE: The options '-b', and '-d' may be combined as required in order to specify exact the network adapter which is to be tested. All specified options are checked against the network adapters list. You may also force a list of all installed Marvell Yukon Ethernet adapters by using the '-l' option. 2. Select the action you want to carry out. For testing the network adapter, 4(3) options are available: - "Diagnostics", - "Loopb. Wrap Plug", - "Loopb. Ext. Repeater", - "Loopb. Port to Port", (available only for dual link adapters) "Diagnostics": Select this option if no wrap plug or port-to-port loopback cable is available. "Loopb. Wrap Plug": To run tests in this mode, wrap plug(s) must be installed, before this test starts. NOTE: Wrap plugs are not available for all copper based adapters. Please connect another station in repeater mode instead. For further information on the repeater mode, refer to the next section. "Loopb. ext. Repeater": To run tests in this mode, another station must be connected back to back to the test station, diagnostics software schould be started on it and running in repeater mode, before this test starts. NOTE: Please ensure that adapter in the repeater station meets the speed requirement (10/100/1000Mbit) of the device under test. To run test on dual port adapter both port must be connected to the different test stations in repeater mode before this test starts. "Loopb. Port to Port": To run tests in this mode, both ports of one dual-port adapter must be connected through a cable before this test starts. NOTE: Single port adapters cannot be tested this way. For displaying additional information about the network adapter, 2 options are available: - "Show Configuration", - "Show Sensors". "Show Configuration": Select this option to get the configuration of the network adapter. "Show Sensors": Select this option to get the sensor values of the network adapter. 3. If you intend to maintain your Flash PROM contents select the menu item "Flash PROM ...". A new menu will appear. Now, you may - save your Flash PROM contents to a file ("Save Flash PROM to File") - write a file into the Flash PROM (max. size 124 kB) ("Load Flash PROM from File") - erase your Flash PROM contents ("Clear Flash PROM"). 4. If you intend to maintain the VPD Data contents select the menu item "VPD Data ...". The VPD menu will appear. Now, you may - display the adapter's VPD data ("Display VPD Data") - clear error log entries ("Clear Error Logs") - modify VPD data ("Add/Modify VPD Data") - remove VPD keywords ("Delete VPD Keywords"). NOTE: During the adapter tests, the diagnostic program must have exclusive rights to use that network adapter. All drivers running on the adapter will be stopped! *** 5 How to use the Repeater Mode =============================== The repeater mode is intended to simulate a 'Wrap Plug' while 1000BASE-T adapters without 'Wrap Plug' support are tested. For running a "Loopb. Wrap Plug" test, the device under test must be connected to an adapter running in repeater mode before the test starts. Although the repeater mode is available for fiber adapter, too, it is not advisable to perform diagnostics loopback tests with a repeater station because the link establishment for fiber adapter is different and is not fully implemented in the diagnostics loopback tests. To enable the diagnostics repeater mode, proceed as follows: 1. Choose the option 'Repeater Mode' from the main menu. 2. Select a port number. The repeater window appears. All incoming frames except pause frames are looped on the transmit side without modifications. The following table shows the configuration parameters and statistic counters displayed in the repeater mode window. parameter/counter start value description --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link State Down The link state may be down or up. If up, frames can be received and transmitted. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link Master/Slave Slave This parameter indicates if the Config adapter is working as master or as slave. The parameter is only supported for 1000BASE-T adapters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link Estimate 1E-15 This parameter indicates the the estimated link error rate. This parameter is only supported for 1000BASE-T adapters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link Changes 0 The counter indicates the number of link operational changes since the repeater mode started. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- False Carrier 0 The counter is only valid for Sense Counter 1000BASE-T adapters and shows the number of false carrier sense counters occured since the repeater mode started. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- FCS Errors 0 The counter indicates the number of Frame Check Sequence (FCS) errors occured since the last link operational change. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frames Received 0 The counter indicates the number of received frames. Received pause frames are neglected. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frames Transmitted 0 The counter indicates the number of transmitted frames. Transmitted pause frames are neglected. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pause Frames Received 0 The counter indicates the number of received pause frames. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pause Frames 0 The counter indicates the number Transmitted transmitted pause frames. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Receive Overflows 0 The counter indicates the number receive overflow events. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** ***End of Readme file***Download Driver Pack
